I have to wonder, are you and people like you just making a common joke? Or do you really think the US extracted oil from Afghanistan? Because they didn’t. They used the invasion to strong arm OPEC; but they themselves didn’t take oil. It wasn’t about increasing oil supply.
The US grew heroin there instead. And only left when stronger synthetics (fentanyl) made heroin unprofitable.
To play devil’s advocate, an issue arises when there AREN’T more verifiable sources. If someone makes an outlandish claim like “Billy Joel used to wash his ass with crisco” and cites a dubious interview, it’s hard to find a source that definitively states Billy Joel DIDN’T wash his ass with crisco. Even worse, is if there was an actual, verified instance of one time where Billy Joel washed his ass with crisco. That may have been the only time he ever did it, and it may have been done as a joke or something like that, but now we have an interview saying he did it regularly, and an example of when he did. Now it’s a lot harder to disprove.
I feel gross defending Republican talking points, now I need to go take a shower. Maybe wash my ass with crisco.
Straight into the garbage.
What lawsuit? What are you talking about?
To me, life=consciousness is just too simple of a definition. Is a sponge conscious? How about a plant? How about a single bacteria cell?
I feel there is a difference between something making a choice in their actions, or merely reacting to external stimuli. That line is blurry, and there’s a lot more creatures that fall on the conscious side than we used to think, but there are definitely creatures that don’t. You’ll never be able to convince me that something like a jellyfish or a salp is a conscious creature.
That’s fucked up, what a stupid amount of hoops to jump through from something so small.
Could you describe the process? What, exactly, made it “hell”?
For some, that is the point.
I want to buy a game online. How do I use cash?
He drew a swastika next to a AfD candidates name. Not sure what the big deal is, they are straight up Nazi’s. Doesn’t seem like he should feel compelled to resign for calling a spade a spade.
Gay hook-up/dating app that pre-dates Tinder. In fact, it inspired Tinder.
There is a solution, but y’all aren’t going to like it.
The solution is blockchain. Actually, it’s even worse, the solution is NFT’s.
Not the scammy, crypto bro, nonsense it has been used for; but the actual technology.
A cryptographically secure digital token that can track where something was made, where it’s being used, who has the rights to it, and ensures that it’s authentic and not some copy made with AI.
Unfortunately, thanks to crypto bros, the technology has become so tainted by scams that most people get upset just hearing the letters NFT, so adoption isn’t likely.
I have yet to see a single item have a significant discount on prime day, it’s not even a sale.
Pixel has a built in feature that screens my calls and sends spammers to a bot. Graphene has no equivalent to this.
Oh, see, you’re under the impression that this is about public safety. It’s not. It’s about giving insurance companies an excuse to deny claims.
Yea, this one isn’t an issue. If you are dropping off passengers, you are allowed to stop in a fire lane because that is not parking.
The Times of Israel said Iran fired two ballistic missiles and that both were intercepted.
Does this make almost no sense to anyone else? If you’re going to violate the ceasefire, why would you only fire two missiles? Considering Israel’s success rate with shooting down missiles, these were almost guaranteed to be intercepted. Were they hoping Israel would just forget about their missile defense system? Even if that was the case, again, why only two? It’s like the entire goal was just to technically violate the ceasefire with no other gain.
Have you been living under a rock the past 10 years? If you think 95% of users give a single shit about E2E, you have a vastly better view of humanity than I do.
It’s so simple a child could understand it; yet, it’s somehow impossible to many adults.
Man, I am trying; really, really, trying to force my brain to see them that way and it just refuses to. Those are way too wide to be a nose and the “mouths” are way too low and weirdly off center. I can only see frowny faces.
